Nelson Mandela , a poem

What YOU make , leaves another day , 
What smiles , goes numb marking an end , 
What you play ,  pauses on some way ,
Is anything permanent ? Is anything for forever ? 

You call it law of nature , I call it end of a journey , 
The days themselves are very ironic , 
Where I see a birthday at one corner , and ,
A legend passing by . 

It has to be special , it has to be serene , 
Be it welcoming someone or a bidding goodbye to an epic ,
The icon who has lived by million hearts , 
Does deserve a salute indeed .

I may not be able to recollect when did I read this name first , 
I may not remember the question to this answer , 
I may not remember his purpose , 
But I remember that great black president , 
I remember who broke all the jinx , 
I remember that leader in making ,
Who is now rest and all at peace in his coffin .

The truth is . . 
The nation lost his Granduer , the man behind all good ,
He who reconciled and brought in human rights ,
He who gained in harmony for all ,
He who dreamt of an Africa in peace with itself ,
The motherland lost her son , people lost their father .

Sir , that remarkable 95 chapters is an inspiration for all ,
Hope millions stick to this strongest wall ,
Hope millions walk on this path again ,
But , I must say ,
Another Legacy takes a leave , sheds his soul , 
Another man brought millions of breath at hold ,
Another man paths his way to HIM .

Sir , Nelson Mandela , I am happy you are up there , 
Help mend His creatures in a way like you , 
Lessen His burden , moulding His forms for better , 
I know He will allow you for sure , 
I know He will never say no to you , 
I am happy He called you up , there ,
You deserve the much needed rest , 
You deserve a divine home .

Welcome to heaven !

Paul Walker , a poem

Return Back if possible , O ! man ,
I always have been so delighted , watching you ,
You were so good a man , O ! #Brian O' Conner ,
We need you back , it isn't complete without you ,
It isn't . . . .

I was the happiest today , I sent a few good sms's then ,
I called up a friend , who had birthday today ,
I was the happiest , and then a news popped up ,
#Paul #Walker , passes away . . . . . 

A moment of silence , a moment of setback ,
I was numb , it was hard , how should I react ,
I was always a fan of your character ,
How can I not be loyal ,
I like no more that late Saturday , that took you away ,
I like no more that Porsche , that stole you away ,
I like no more any of it , for I liked only you in it . . 

I feel I have lost the connect , I feel I have lost a gem ,
I feel what the whole world if feeling , I feel more like them ,
I am happy I can feel , else I was numb ,
Hope this feel reaches you up there ,
Hope you can see more , how people love you even more ,
Hope your charity Reach Out Worldwide does it . . . 

We know you always deserved a best goodbye ,
We knew , it had to be late , in your old age ,
You went so early , You went so quick ,
My eyes were slept then , I am not even awake now ,
I want to say . . . 
I am , short of words , short of emotions . . . . 
Brian O'Connor , come back if you can . . 
Return Back if possible , O ! man .

Till then our wishes will hold you friends good ,
Your family safe and better ,
And , your memories best . . . !

" You will be missed by all your fans . . .
If I had the power to change one thing , I would bring you back again " was said for MJ and now  I say it for you too
